“This is a remarkable, fascinating film, a portrait not just of Dave Tomkins’ life, but also of the unseen forces that operate beyond the understanding and knowledge of most civilians.”
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian

“Take him with a pinch of salt, but this old mercenary is highly entertaining. Director David Whitney probed repeatedly to locate his conscience, and at first Tomkins brushed him off: 'Yeah, I considered the victims. But if I didn't sell the weapons, somebody else would. 'At last, though, deep-buried emotions seeped through. To his own surprise, he started to weep. 'I have contributed to the deaths of people who shouldn't have died,' he admitted.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

"An extraordinary story that's as thrilling as a Frederick Forsyth novel". - The Radio Times
